A LETTER FROM EMILY—IN BRAZIL

Emily

Oi, I'm Emily. I live in Brazil in South America. Oi means "hello" in Portuguese, the language we speak in Brazil.

My country is very big, with many different regional cultures and various climates. It's a "tropical country, blessed by God and beautiful by nature," as it says in a famous Brazilian song.

I live in the city of Rio de Janeiro, which has lots of natural wonders and is known as cidade maravilhosa, "the marvelous city." We have beautiful beaches, mountains, and lakes.
